"Ernie don't know beans about advertising". . . or maybe that isn't the title of the new Kiwanis song that was introduced at the meeting of the club and than too, in the song the singers state that Ernie won't stand for a barrage of biscuits . . . er other loose articles from the table . . . and Ernie admitted it by singing the solo part in the group with his lusty . . . well whatever pitch he sings. The Kiwanians didn't like Frank Martin nearly as well as they did Jack O'Brien . . . what a difference a red necktie will make . Max Henderson says he don't like the idea of someone foolin' him that way. Harry Arthur says that the old adage, "you can't teach an old dog tricks" is all haywire . . . is all haywir . . . he's been in the show business a long time and this was a new trick for him . Anyway, it was a lotta fun to the emotional strains of some of our staid citizens . . . and it was all in fun and yet very serious . . . JOINT MEETING OF TWO VETERAN POSTS SET FOR FRIDAY EVENING Veterans of Foreign Wars And Legion Pests Plan Gettogether Meet All plans have been completed for the first Get-together meeting of the two veteran posts of Anaheim set for K. P. Hall here tomorrow night (Friday) according to the announcement made by the V. F. W. post committee who will act as host post for the occasion. In addition to the veterans will be the auxiliaries and invited guests. Music, dancing, cards and entertainment will feature the evening. This is the first opportunity the two posts have had to hold a joint meeting and it is believed that through the meeting a closer friendship between the members will be cemented. The Veterans of Foreign Wars is an organization which takes in Veterans of all wars and expeditions which have been fought on foreign shores while the Legion is made up of world war veterans Popular Vet of Brea Passes At Sawtelle Wed. Word was received last night that Edward M. (Shorty) McDonald of Brea had passed away at Sawtelle Hospital Wednesday afternoon following a very brief illness which took him to the hospital last Thursday. Shorty, as all his comrades knew him so well, was perhaps one of the best known as well as liked veterans in the county. His antics at state conventions will also be well remembered by all who attend the conclaves. He was 51 years of age at the time of his death; born in Clyde Kansas, following which he spent nine years in Colorado before moving to San Diego in 1905. When the war broke out in 1917 he enlisted in the Coast Artillery Corps. He was taken to Sawtelle last Thursday where it was found he was suffering from diabetes and complications set in from a ruptured appendix. Funeral services will be held at Sawtelle at 9:30. Friday morning with interment in the National home cemetery under the auspices of the Brea American Legion posse and Orange County Volunteer 40 and 8. Surviving him are a brother Percy D. McDonald; a sister, Mrs Anyway, it was a lotta fun to the emotional strains of some of our staid citizens... and it was all in fun and yet very serious. Well... they tell me that the job of mayoring in this town will continue to be "Mann-handled." Wonder why they don't give the job out saying... "well let Charley do it" and then anyone of them could be mayor. Heard a lady say the other day that this isn't a one horse town... it's a charley horse town... now where do you suppose that could originate... Anyway there's more than one Charley... and according to Tom Hollingworth there's more'n one horse, too... Mel Gauer asked me the other day to help him tell the folks hereabouts about the school bond issue... he says I'll be helpin' him get some new and needed schools... gosh I thought all the time he had finished his education... funny how some people can fool you about their schooling... Guess they need the schools all right but I didn't know Mel needed 'em... Well, well, well, and the boy went fishing again... but then that's a story in itself... but, anyway, Dale Smith nearly won a handicap bet from Ted Masterson... all he lacked to win was four fish... the bet? Well, Ted caught seven and Dale was supposed to catch more and he only lacked four of being even... But then Dale merely... and very, very modestly admits that he is the best in the business outside of the purseiners... Why he even caught bait for a bunch of newspaper men on one trip... of course that was being a good fellow... he knew that newspaper men didn't know much about... well to tell the truth... Dale is handicapped most of the time... here is the reason... when they go out in the party some of those aboard are afraid to venture too Anaheim Legion Post Hears Talk On Americanism The ladies of the Legion Auxiliary climaxed the meeting of the Anaheim Post of the American Legion last Monday night with a chill bean feed. The feed was occasioned by the fact that the Auxiliary lost in a membership contest with the post. A report was made on the contemplated clubhouse by the committee, composed of Ray Van Wagoner and Fred W. Smith, to the effect that the matter had been placed before the city council and the program, as far as it had gone, met with hearty response from the members of the council. It is planned to get the plans that were used in the construction of the Brea Woman's clubhouse and use these as a basis for the clubhouse here which will be in the new city park. These plans, it was reported, are expected to be loaned to the post by the Brea organization and then the matter will again be taken up with the council. Jimmy Heffron, adjutant of the post who was seriously injured in an automobile accident some time ago, attended the post meeting for the first time since the accident. He thanked the post members for the "wonderful cooperation extended" he and his family during his stay in the hospital. He told the Legionnaires that he appreciates more than ever what a membership in the organization means. This is the first opportunity the two posts have had to hold a joint meeting and it is believed that through the meeting a closer friendship between the members will be cemented. The Veterans of Foreign Wars is an organization which takes in Veterans of all wars and expeditions which have been fought on foreign shores while the Legion is made up of world war veterans only. L. N. "Pete" Wisser is commander of the V. F. W. while Earl Fulfer is commander of the Legion. Bergheldts Sail For Europe Sum Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Bergheld are receiving "Bon Voyage" greetings from their many friends upon their coming trip to Europe as they are completing plans to sail on the S. S. Canada from San Pedro harbor Sunday. They expect to embark at Rotterham then travel oh to Berlin and Hamburg. While in the latter city they will visit with Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Lytel. Mrs. Lyte was formerly Miss Isabel McFaaden, daughter of Mr. and Mr. Thomas J. McFadden. From Hamburg they will go on to Paris where Mr. Bergheldt will spend about six weeks in further study of art in which he is very accomplished, and Mrs. Bergheldt will establish connections with Paris commissioner for the Mar Millerick dress shop of which she is the owner. They will then continue the tour of the European countries visiting Vienna, Austria, Czechia lovakia, Sweden, Ireland, London and many other of the picture que, historic and modern cities and countries of the Old World. They expect to return to Anheim about October 25th, the tr home to be on the S. S. Washington. Waltonians In Member Drive The Anaheim Isaak Walton Club has instituted a membership drive under the leadership of General August Eltiste who has divided the present membership into two divisions, the Mackerel Snatchers and the Wild Boar Chasers and the two teams swung into action this week. The local club has a membership of 208 at the present time, according to the announcement of Frey Hays, president, and it is hoped that the goal of 400 will be reached at the close of the contest. The losers will have to sponsor a feed for the winners. The menu will have for its entire either fish of game. Jimmy Heffron, adjutant of the post who was seriously injured in an automobile accident some time ago, attended the post meeting for the first time since the accident. He thanked the post members for the "wonderful cooperation extended" he and his family during his stay in the hospital. He told the Legionnaires that he appreciates more than ever what a membership in the organization means but suggested that these skeptical members take a little less painful method of learning the true value of a legion card. Following out a request of some of the members, Fred W. Smith, who has carried the message of National Defense and Americanism to other organizations of the county, made a short address in which he quoted, from records, the growth of ocmmunism and subversive activities in the state of California. He told of the inaccessibility of records in the district Department of Labor offices in San Francisco even to "constituted authority" because of a rigid ruling by the bureau in Washington. "This," he said "was reported by your state commissioner who wrote to Washington asking about the matter with the result of 'no answer'. This means that the International Defense League, which is catalogued as a communist institution, is stronger than the Legion, at least they get what they want." Mr. and Mrs. John C. Muth, who have been guests for some time of their son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Ross Sidebottom of North Olive street, have returned to their home in Ohio. They will then continue the tour of the European countries visiting Vienna, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Sweden, Ireland, London and many other of the pictureque, historic and modern cities and countries of the Old World. They expect to return to Anheim about October 25th, the town home to be on the S. S. Washington.

Horton of Los Angeles was greeted by Four thousand Orange County Townsendites and more who gathered in Anaheim Park in Anaheim in a county wide Townsend Mass Meeting Sunday afternoon. If the opposing forces of Townsendism had an opinion that the Congressional Investigation and the differences of opinion in existence in Los Angeles Townsend circles were resulting in disintegration of Orange County Townsend forces they were disillusioned when they witnessed the enthusiasm of the gathering yesterday. Not a sign of dissention or lack of harmony marked the ceremonies. Instead a resolution was unanimously passed by the great assembly stating that Orange County Townsendites are in full accord in having implicit faith in Dr. Francis E. Townsend's personal integrity and leadership ability. The resolution also carried a pledge of loyalty to the Doctor and expression of appreciation for his untiring zeal in humanity's interests, and that until every foe of the movement had been fully conquered: Townsendites would fight on undaunted. It was ordered sent to Dr. Townsend. Harry D. Riley presided during the program of the afternoon. A letter from the Townsend Headquarters in Kansas City, Missouri, was read by the chairman which stated: "We are going to take care of C. Jasper Bell and how! Mr. Charles C. Hatfield will oppose Mr. Bell in the fall election and we are going to handle the matter without gloves." The letter's wording seemed to be exactly what the gathering desired and the applause was hearty. Hurd's Stringed Trio of Santa Ana entertained the audience with a much appreciated concert from 1:30 to 2 p.m. Mr. C. B. Hurd, Mr. C. H. Johnson and Miss Maxine Reeves compose the trio. Introduction made by the chairman included Mrs. Ida Freeman, president and E. C.

Introduction made by the chairman included Mrs. Ida Freeman, president and E. C. Healton, Secretary of Goldenwest Club No. 4 of Anaheim, Mrs. Mary E. Ashenfelter, Secretary and Mrs. E. A. Sager, vice president of Anaheim Club No. 2, Mr. Dan Clemer, vice president of Anaheim Club No. 1, all of whom were sponsors of the gathering. Other introductions included Mrs. Carrie Drake of Yorba Linda, Grant Henderson of Santa Ana, Area Manager Ted E. Felt of Pomona, County Manager Walter N. Robb of Santa Ana and Rev. S. M. Cheek of Anaheim. The meeting was called to order by Chairman Riley who introduced Grant Henderson of Santa Ana who lead the audience in singing America. The invocation was offered by Rev. S. M. Cheek of Anaheim which was followed by Chairman Riley leading the assembly in giving the pledge of loyalty to the flag. Walter E. Robb was called upon for remarks and responded with words of commendation to Orange County clubs for the fine co-operation being given him in promoting Townsend interests in the county. "The fine unity of effort being exhibited if persisted in" he said "would result in victory for the Townsend Plan." Ted E. Felt, State Area Manager brought a brief message Colonel Horton began his address by stating that while messages on the Townsend Plan were no longer novelty or new but that the Townsend Plan was one with such remarkable objectives that it could be heard discussed again and again with pleasure. As proof of its popularity in America he pointed to its wonderful spread and to the millions of adherents it included as its sponsors. He voiced his belief and confidence that it was futile effort which was being exerted against the Plan by its enemies as nothing would be able to thwart its progress and eventual enactment into law. He pointed out the fine fellowship and understanding existing between the people because of Townsend activities and suggested that a bond of unity now existed which boded ill for Townsend Plan opponents. Colonel Horton became emphatic when he denounced the newspaper propaganda which has been heralded through the press to the effect that Dr. Townsend had turned from his plan to finance the McGroarty Bill 7154 by a two per cent transaction tax. He said such statements were wholly unwarranted and untrue and that no such idea existed in Dr. Townsend's plans. The Townsend orator time and again drove home to the minds of his hearers that the Townsend forces are a people's movement which is bent on returning to the people the power of representation in formulating the economic policies of the nation. In this connection (Continued on page 5) Construction of the new Loara school is progressing work begun late last week; the direction of Blystone at Tuyle, Brea contractors, timated that the building completed in 150 working days.
